Tianna, the 6 Year Old!

On Sunday the 16th Tianna officially turned 6! As soon as we got home from Stake Conference she begged to open her presents.

Daddy always seems to buy "one last present" for his girls on their birthdays.  This day however it wasn't just a toy gun anymore....... it was a REAL B B GUN! Mom thought 8 was a better age. Dad decided 6.
I love LOVE LOVE how she is dressed to go shooting! Pink and ruffley all over, but holding a firearm. True blue Peacock girl there!
Don't worry everyone, Dad took great care in showing her how to handle the gun, all the rules, and made sure she understands that she is NEVER NEVER NEVER to use it without help for a long long time.
I stayed in the car....(yes Courtney, those are your glasses I am sporting-- it was really sunny and they were all I had)... but I am posting this picture to prove that I was in fact present.

STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE BIRTHDAY PARTY
Perfect size of party-- Bday girl + 5 closest friends + 1 little sister
 We colored (they LOVED IT) played with little Strawberry Shortcake figures, painted their initial on a little wood cutout,  played a few silly games and then opened presents.......
And then ate cake! 
 Party wrapped up within an hour and half and this super preggo mama survived! 
 I sure love this girl! She is so responsible, so smart, so caring, and so........... different than I expected her to be. Not that she wasn't wonderful, smart, and caring when she was little but she was SO VERY head strong and independent that we often really clashed.  She was always super fun and outgoing, but when she wanted her way, she was completely unbending. I worried about how she'd be as she got older. Now she is so easy going and wants to please! It's made Mommy and Daddy very grateful and very proud of her. We are so blessed to have this angel in our home.
LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER, TIANNA

You look so cute, Mary! And I can't believe how grown-up and beautiful Tianna is already! I remember when you were pregnant with HER. :)
